Rating (out of 5): 1

Green onion (Allium fistulosum), also known as scallion or spring onion, has been used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and other folk medicine systems for various ailments, including dizziness. In TCM, dizziness is thought to be caused by wind, phlegm accumulation, or deficiencies in the body’s yin or yang. Green onion is considered to have properties that help expel wind and cold, and it is sometimes included in herbal formulas intended to treat symptoms like dizziness, particularly when associated with cold or external pathogen invasion. However, the specific use of green onion for dizziness is not prominent and is usually adjunctive, combined with other herbs such as ginger or perilla. There is minimal scientific research directly linking green onion to the treatment of dizziness. Most available evidence is anecdotal or based on traditional practice rather than clinical trials. The bioactive compounds in green onion, such as flavonoids and sulfur compounds, have general health benefits (e.g., anti-inflammatory, antioxidant), but no studies have specifically validated its effectiveness for dizziness. Thus, its use for this purpose is rooted in tradition, with very limited supporting evidence.
